Continue to keep the
doctor away by spicing up your apple a day!
INGREDIENTS:
Yield: 4 (1 small apple)
Ingredients:
· 2 cup pitted dates
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 2 Tablespoons of tahini
· 1/8 cup of unsweetened
vanilla almond milk
· 4 small apples
· Optional: 1 cup of a
variety of nuts, chopped (hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.)
DIRECTIONS:
Warm the dates in the
microwave for 2 minutes (remember to use a microwave safe bowl). Put the warm
dates in a food processor and add the vanilla extract, tahini, and almond milk
to the dates. Process the caramel-like mixture for able about 30 seconds until
the mixture reaches a smooth consistency that you can spread on an apple (To
make a smoother consistency caramel, add 1 tbsp of almond milk at a time). Use
a spatula to spread the caramel around the apple. Optional: roll the apple in
chopped nuts (press the remaining nuts onto your apple).
Your caramel apple is
complete! Refrigerate until ready to eat OR if you want the caramel to get
harder. If there is leftover caramel, save it for a caramel dip!
